At least 155 people were injured after two trains collided in Spain's northeastern Catalonia region on Wednesday, local emergency services said.

Writing on Twitter, emergency services said that 150 people were "in a mild condition" and five others "in a less serious condition," adding that three people had been transferred to hospitals.

"There was a collision between two trains at 7:50 a.m. at the Montcada i Reixac-Manresa station, on the line heading to Barcelona, that's to say one train ran into the back of another," a spokesperson for Spain's state-owned railway operator Renfe said.

Rail traffic along the line was suspended in both directions and Renfe had opened an investigation into what happened, he said.
